NHS News The Public Involvement Team have been working hard over the past few weeks to source interesting and informative articles to showcase in the 2016 Autumn/Winter edition of NHS News. NHS News is one of the ways in which NHS Grampian shares information with the public and communities about health services, and how to get involved with activities in their local area. The team had a fantastic response to their call for articles from colleagues in NHS Grampian, the three Local Authorities, and Third Sector Organisations across Grampian. The latest edition of the NHS News went live on 31 October. This is the second edition of the bi-annual paper which the Public Involvement Team has produced. As NHS News is primarily a digital document, it is mainly distributed electronically; however 5000 hard copies have also been produced and are being distributed to key sites and locations in health care settings and local communities across Grampian. If you would like to receive a copy of NHS News directly into your inbox, or would like to submit an article for the 2017 Spring/Summer edition, please contact Liz Howarth by email at [email protected].

ACC Equalities Team 5 2.3 “The Multicultural Forum in the Community” – Working with the Torry GP Practice The NHS Grampian Multicultural Forum has been hard at work planning new and innovative ways of engaging directly with people and local communities, and to find new ways of involve people in the work of NHS Grampian. One of the ways the forum achieved this was by working in partnership with colleagues at Community Renewal, who are at the forefront of the Modernising Primary Care work with some of the GP Practices across Grampian. The Torry GP Practice is one such practice, and is significant to the Multicultural Forum, as Torry has the highest number of people from minority ethnic backgrounds in Aberdeen (around 15–17% of their patients). To kick start this work, the Multicultural Forum were delighted to welcome Community Engagement Officers Anne Docherty and Sheila Thomson from Community Renewal to a meeting of the Multicultural Forum which took place at the Aberdeen Town House on 5 July 2016. At this meeting it was agreed that the Multicultural Forum would be well placed to have a presence within the Torry GP Public Involvement Officer Practice.
